What are five stories you wish you could write, but can't?
In no particular order:
* a tennis AU: It would only seem natural, a combination of my two absolutely favorite things in the world, but...yeah. Logistics would be hell. I've actually written a tennis fic before, on an epic!LOL scale no less, but it broke half a dozen good fic rules (self-inserts, script format, breaking into song at random intervals, etc). This year's Roland Garros storylines have been fan-fucking-tastic, and I even know which players I'd choose to parallel the Inuyasha characters; I just don't think I could write an 'action' scene of a tennis match without boring people to tears. It's very much a visual, visceral game.
* a sequel to Every Heart: I've mulled over this for quite awhile, and I even have some vague storyline sketches of ideas. My main fear with this is that it wouldn't really be an Inuyasha fanfic - the main storyline would focus on the Sesshoumaru/Snegura pairing, and I can already hear the cries of OMG MarySue!fic *rolls eyes* So, yeah - that's what's currently keeping this on the back burner, though I may eventually write it, just to get it out of my head. Russian mythic lore still calls to me...
* The Wrong Ending: OMG I want to write this story so bad! I've almost started it half a dozen times. There are currently four fragments of it floating around out there in my catch-all collection. What's stopping me? The sheer fact that I don't want to start another story until I've finished at least one of my current WIPs. I like having multiple projects at once, but starting another one while three are in production feels like overkill :-/
* my requests: man, but you guys gave me some challenging requests!! I've been thinking over the prompts, but nothing has solidified in my mind just yet. I feel guilty having asked for them, and yet am taking so long to deliver - but I really enjoy writing a short fic to personalized standards :) I do hope you guys will be patient with me! :-/
* a Mir/San lemon: Here's a bundle of my worst fears - writing an unfamiliar plot (device) for unfamiliar pairing. I've written some citrus in preparation for the end of Fleeting (let's just say, I always want my angst to pay off in the end, LOL!), so I'm feeling better about that aspect, but I have no idea how I'd approach it with this pairing. Luckily, I have the rest of the month to tinker with the idea before our challenge ends over at
mirsanficart...so we'll see, if this is on the "temporary can't finish" pile, or is shifted over to the "is likely never to happen" black hole of wasted ideas.
